DIY Install and Plaster a Ceiling Heating

Installation instructions

Our DIY kit for installing a plaster ceiling heating combines simple, tool-less installation with great flexibility in implementation. To demonstrate this, we have carried out a test installation of approximately 3 m² and documented it in pictures. The main installation steps are shown and briefly described on this page. Detailed installation instructions can be downloaded at the bottom of this page and are included with each heating kit.

The plastering kit contains all the components needed to retrofit ceiling surfaces as heating surfaces. The 10 mm PE-RT heating pipes are quickly and neatly laid in the previously installed honeycomb elements. The ceiling heating is connected to the existing heating system via return temperature limiters and allows independent control. Suitable plaster materials for ceiling heating are gypsum plaster, lime plaster and clay plaster and must be purchased separately.

To conclude

Despite the simple design of the plaster ceiling heating system and the ease of installation, we must point out that, as the manufacturer, we can only guarantee correct delivery from the factory and not installation and connection by third parties. Please also observe the current standards and regulations for heating systems.

FLEXIRO wishes you all the best with the implementation of your project!

The substructure for the ceiling heating should fulfil the dry construction guidelines for suspended ceilings. When using CD profiles and direct hangers, a suspended height of approx. 5 cm can be used for planning. A small distance to the bare ceiling is required for looping through the FLEXIRO connection pipes and plug-in connections. The dry construction guidelines also permit the use of wooden battens as a substructure for the plasterboard panels. However, their dimensional accuracy and torsional rigidity is usually less good compared to CD profiles made of sheet metal.

Yes, it is possible to use the ceiling heating kit for cooling in summer. Sufficient cool water supply is required though. Further details can be found at: How to use a ceiling heating as cooling ceiling

This is possible in principle. However, it should be noted that wood deforms when exposed to moisture. Plaster, on the other hand, is a rigid system. Plaster manufacturers therefore recommend the use of carrier boards. Plaster manufacturers will provide detailed instructions for the specific application.
